C36 (2/2)

The Great Deity Official chuckled, ”It's not that I want to see the Empress, it's just that the Empress wants to see me.”

Ye Qiongjiang frowned slightly. Just as she was unable to guess what he meant, she suddenly saw Great Deity Official extend her finger and dip it into a teacup.

In the instant that the crystal clear drop of tea was flicked into the air, Ye Qiongjiang felt as if all of her attention had been attracted there, and even her mind had become dazzled at this moment. It was as if all things in the world had stopped moving with the flick of this drop of tea.

When her vision cleared once again, Ye Qiongjiang was surprised to find that she was no longer in the pavilion, but instead in an indescribable place. She was surrounded by strange light and shadows, everything outside could not be seen clearly, and there was a strange distortion.

”This place is …”

”Water droplets.”

After the Great Deity Official's voice reached him, Ye Qiongjiang abruptly turned around, ”Drops of water?”

Could this be the tea droplet that had just been bounced in midair?

Being prompted like that, Ye Qiongjiang looked around. Although the surrounding scenery and colors were mixed and blurry, at least she could see a bit of the outline of the place. It really did look like it belonged to the Jade Dew Hall.

”Why did you bring me here?”

”Empress, there is no need to panic. It is just that I do not wish to let others know of what happened today.” The Great Deity Official looked at her and asked, ”Does the Empress still remember the Stellar Soup Pool?”

Ye Qiongjiang's face slightly blushed. The memories of how she was teased by Mo Hua surfaced in her mind, making her extremely embarrassed, ”You … ”You …” For a moment she didn't know how to answer.

”Hasn't Lady Qiong been curious about this reputed one's appearance the entire time? It was inconvenient to meet in Stellar Soup Pool, and the sacrificial ceremony was too busy. But since Your Majesty has said so, I must let the Lady Qiong meet me and help the Empress resolve her doubts. ”

Ye Qiongjiang's face became even redder, her heart was in great distress. So the Stellar Soup Pool was talking about this, she had thought that with her understanding of everything, she knew that she was being harassed by Mo Hua in Stellar Soup Pool.

Great Deity Official saw that her cheeks were blushing and that there was shame between her brows. He only smiled slightly and slowly lifted the black mask that covered her face.

The question that had been lingering in her mind the whole time was about to be revealed. Ye Qiongjiang held his breath and looked around, revealing a pair of blue eyes that he was used to seeing before.

As the mask was lifted, the face that Great Deity Official had always been hiding behind finally appeared before her eyes.

His eyebrows were furrowed and his aura was awe-inspiring. His aura was noble and sacred, chilling to the bone.

This person... This face, no matter how you looked at it, looked like it belonged to a completely different Mo Hua.

”Is the Empress satisfied?” His lips curled up slightly. It was the same smile that Mo Hua usually gave, but it was extremely cold.

Maybe he really was overthinking it. After all, it was just an illusory dream. How could he take it seriously? Ye Qiongjiang lowered her head and thought.

No, that wasn't right. That night when she had barged into his tent, she had clearly seen a completely different face!

The face she had seen was indescribably beautiful and indescribably beautiful!

It was like looking up at the sky from the Gobi Desert, deep and boundless like the Milky Way.

At that time, facing him, it was as if the whole sky was in front of his eyes. To use any language in the world to describe it would be a form of blasphemy to him.

That was an appearance that did not belong to this world.

This was definitely not the man with cold eyes like he was looking at right now.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Great Deity Official let out a light sigh, put the mask back on his face, and sighed: ”This sovereign knows what the Empress is thinking, I wonder how much the Lady Qiong knows about my Star Palace?”

Ye Qiongjiang pondered for a moment, her bright eyes turning as she stared straight into the eyes of the Great Deity Official without blinking, looking right into his eyes. She then slowly said: ”Legend has it that the ancestor of the Da Xia Empire used a great fortune to capture a Divine Dragon of Outer World, and suppressed it under the Vermillion Jade Peak to refine it into a dragon vein. He wants it to protect the Da Xia Empire for generations to come.”

She looked at him, pausing after each word.

When she said the words of the Great Deity Official in her dreams, she originally wanted to probe him out, but the emphasis on the words ”endless” became even heavier. Unfortunately, the man in front of her had clear eyes and remained calm, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Ye Qiongjiang frowned, was she really mistaken? She could only continue, ”And Star Palace is to keep watch over this Divine Dragon which has turned into a dragon vein, preventing it from breaking the seal.”

”En, the Empress is right.” The original intention of the Star Palace was to guard the dragon fountain. Three hundred years after the founding of the Da Xia Empire, there were a total of ten emperors. Our Star Palace had also inherited three hundred years, but the Star Palace had inherited twenty-seven people. Does the Empress know why? ”
